From New York Times bestseller Kody Keplinger comes an astonishing and
thought-provoking exploration of the aftermath of tragedy, the power of
narrative, and how we remember what we've lost.
It's been three years since the Virgil County High School Massacre.
Three years since my best friend, Sarah, was killed in a bathroom stall
during the mass shooting. Everyone knows Sarah's story -- that she died
proclaiming her faith.But it's not true.I know because I was with her
when she died. I didn't say anything then, and people got hurt because
of it. Now Sarah's parents are publishing a book about her, so this
might be my last chance to set the record straight... but I'm not the
only survivor with a story to tell about what did -- and didn't --
happen that day.Except Sarah's martyrdom is important to a lot of
people, people who don't take kindly to what I'm trying to do. And the
more I learn, the less certain I am about what's right. I don't know
what will be worse: the guilt of staying silent or the consequences of
speaking up...
